GENERAL FACTS
The game was originally developed by a guy whose name has been
lost forever.  Dinamic saw the product and liked it, but decided
to change some things, thus buying the source code. Then they
realized the code wouldn't admit such changes, and they rewrote
the code, even changing the graphics.  As they had also hired the
announces and spend the money in advertising, the making of the
game became a race aginst time. But even with this in mind,
the game in superb.

In the terraces there are a lot of other personalities of
Dinamic.  Fernando Martin was the first spanish basket player in
the NBA of USA.   He died in a car accident in 1991.
 
NOTES
The smile of Fernando Martin in the loading screen should make
you think twice and forget all your hope to beat him.
